dull in the wheat pit early this morni ng, and
prices for June hung around the opening at

so much nervousness displayed when the
clique houses began buying thati
nothing was accomplished. Prices ranged
between S60S6}Ec and 861ac all morning,
but the volume of trade was light on the after
noon board, tue crowd were feeling very bear
ish and the clique had all they could do to keep
prices above S5c. Toward the close June sold
at S614c, at which figure 1t closed. There was
continuation of yesterdays closing weakness
in corn. June opened &c lower at $3.50. The
